Character, space, and convenience come together at 45 Westlake Avenue. Much larger than it appears this oversized three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached home is set in a sought-after pocket south of the Danforth. Set on a generous 125-foot-deep lot, this updated home pairs enduring period details with smart updates. Inside, hardwood floors extend throughout, while stained-glass windows preserve the home's original warmth and personality. A cozy gas fireplace gives the living room an inviting spot for movie nights or rainy days with a book. The enclosed porch provides a practical landing place for bicycles, strollers, and seasonal gear without sacrificing any of your interior living space. :) A separate side entrance leads to the finished basement, creating flexibility for a recreation area, home office, guest accommodations, or rental potential. Out back, the deep yard offers ample room to garden, play or dine outdoors. A large shed adds welcome storage for tools, sports equipment, and outdoor essentials. Daily errands and commuting are exceptionally convenient here as well. Sobeys is just steps away, Stephenson Park is close at hand, and both Main Street Station and Danforth GO Station are within easy reach. The best BBQ in Toronto at Beach Hill Smokehouse, coffee runs to Poured, afternoon baseball games at Stephenson Park, treats from Carter's Ice Cream, and community events (Farmer's Market) at East Lynn Park add to the neighborhood's appeal. Leave the car at home...you can walk to everything here! Come see this perfect blend of updates and cozy charm at 45 Westlake Avenue. Check out the Virtual Tour!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $890/sqft, this property is priced in line with current The Beaches market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In The Beaches's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in The Beaches are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to The Beaches. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
About East End-Danforth
I know East End-Danforth well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: The Beaches properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,079 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
